UMASS Amherst campus in the heart of New England covers nearly 1450 acres with more than 150 academic buildings, libraries, and sports facilities in a friendly, unhurried pastoral setting. The scenic campus, with its tree lined walkways, is a study in contrasts: countryside and city, old and new, sophisticated and rustic. The Town of Amherst gracefully combines colonial charm with the vigor of one of New England’s major educational centers, The Five College Consortium: Smith, Hampshire, Amherst, Mount Holyoke Colleges and The University of Massachusetts Amherst. This area of Western Massachusetts offers an exhilarating degree of social, cultural and recreational diversity.
